Practical Capabilities for Real Projects
This Microsoft Project course builds practical, hands-on capability from your first schedule to programme-level reporting. By the end, you can plan, resource, track and report on real projects using Microsoft Project with confidence.
Create projects, configure calendars, enter a work breakdown structure with summary tasks, subtasks and milestones, and set durations so Microsoft Project calculates the schedule automatically.
Apply Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish and Start-to-Finish dependencies with lag and lead time, use constraints and deadlines, and interpret the critical path and float to protect delivery dates.
Create work, material and cost resources, assign them to tasks, identify over-allocation, and use resource levelling to keep team workloads realistic and achievable.
Set project baselines, record actual progress, analyse schedule variance in the Tracking Gantt, and generate built-in reports that stakeholders can rely on.
Plan budgets, track costs and calculate earned value metrics such as BCWS, BCWP, SPI and CPI to measure project health and forecast outcomes at the Advanced level.
Build master projects and subprojects, create cross-project dependencies, tailor custom views, fields and reports, and manage programme-level resources at the Advanced level.
